Pest Management in Carthage

Pest control and management refers to any system or measure that seeks to eliminate or regulate the population of insects considered harmful to human and animal health and the environment. Pest control in Carthage MO requires a lot of work and resources but it is a necessity, especially for homes. Here are the reasons why pest management is important and why every homeowner should consider applying it:

1. Preventing damage to homes and structures

In the U.S., people spend about $5 billion for the repair of damages caused by termite infestation. Termites consume wood and wood products such as ply-board and paper. Once they have burrowed into the wood components of the home, they can eat beams, floorings and walls from the inside. This makes the structure weak and vulnerable to collapse, leaving household members at a risk. Termite infestation can be especially problematic in older homes and structures that have not been treated. In areas where termites are known pests, managing a home to keep it safe from termites requires constant vigilance and assistance from pest control agencies.

2. Preventing allergies

Pests can cause a range of issues in people, such as skin allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. Bed bugs and mosquitoes, for example, are notorious for causing skin rashes. Pests can also carry certain allegens that can cause strong allergic reactions in some people. Cockroaches, for example, can cause allergies in at least 7% of the population. They are also one of the leading causes of asthma in children.

3. Avoiding diseases and other health risks

Leprosy, skin infections, urinary tract infections, Lyme disease, intestinal infections, dysentery, dengue, malaria and food poisoning are just a few of the diseases and health problems that pests can cause. They also carry a number of bacteria and viruses that can affect human and animal health. Although many of these diseases are treatable, they can cause serious health issues in children, the elderly and immune-compromised individuals, many of whom will require professional medical treatment or hospitalization. That, in turn, can translate to millions of dollars in medical costs.

4. Preventing damage and deterioration of furniture, carpets and clothes

Pest control has to be applied in order to save furniture, carpets and clothing and avoid the expenses associated with repairs and replacements. Burrowing insects are notorious for causing damage to the wooden and fabric components of furniture. Some, such as carpet bugs, moths, cockroaches and silverfish are also attracted to fabric, often using it as a source of food.

5. Maintenance of food supply

Food supply is critical to the survival of the world’s populations. On a macro economic level, it also influences the world’s economies and supports majority of today’s active industries. Without proper pest management, almost 20% of our food supply will be wasted due to consumption of rodents. Each year, millions of dollars’ worth of food is lost to rodent attacks and infestation. By controlling the threat, it is possible to keep food supplies at manageable and useful levels. On the Carthage Missouri home-front, implementing pest control measures can help prevent food waste and contamination. Pests do not only consume food, they also leave behind undesirable organic matter such as dead skin, body parts, feces and urine, all of which can affect the quality of the food we eat.

Some Common Q & A’s

What Is Good For Flea Bites?
I'M Itchy And I Need To Know How To Get Rid Of Them.?

Flea not only bites and live off your pets, they bites on people too. The typical human reaction to a flea bite is the formation of a small, hard, red, slightly raised, itching spot with no swelling. Some bleeding can occur, particularly if the bitten area is scratched. A single puncture point caused by the flea is generally apparent in the center of each spot. (See Flea bites pictures)

Flea bites normally occur on the legs and ankles. Different people have different reaction to fleabites. Some people are totally unattractive to fleas and are not affected by the presence of fleas while others may be "appealing" and sensitive to fleas resulting in severe allergic reaction to their bites.

Well, how to treat flea bites on human? Before you run off to your family doctor to seek medical treatment, here are some home remedies for the treatment of flea bites on human.

1.Firstly, it’s important to keep the affected area clean. Wash the bites with some antiseptic lotion or soap. Use cold water but avoid the use of warm or hot water as this may tend to stimulate itch

2.Secondly, apply a cold pack over the bites to reduce swelling.

3.Do not scratch the inflamed area as this may lead to open wounds and secondary infections.

4.If the affected area is read and swollen, you may apply a mild steroid cream like 1% hydrocortisone cream. This should be easily available from any pharmacy without the need of a prescription. Hydrocortisone helps in reducing inflammation rapidly. Alternatively, if you have a bottle of calamine lotion at home, this may help too.

5.Very often, the itch caused by the fleabites can be very intense. An oral dose of anti-histamine like Dimetapp, Chlortrimeton is very effective in relieving itch. Once the itch stops, you will stop scratching as well and the healing will take place faster.

Your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics for you and a jab of steroid may be needed to stop the inflammation.

Is It The Same Bat Coming Into My House?!?
On Friday 7/27, I Was Sleeping And Woke Up To A Bat Flying In My Bedroom. It Was Approx 2Am. I Immediately Ran Out Of The Room, Shut My Door And Went Upstairs To Make Sure My Kids Were Ok. I Then Called My Brother Who Stays Awake All Night Bc He Works Night Shift. I Convinced Him To Come Over And Help Me Get The Bat Out Of My House. When He Got There, It Was Hanging From My Curtain Rod In My Bedroom. My Brother Was Able To Get It And Let It Go Outside. I Thought All Was Good And It Was Just A One Time Thing...
Saturday And Sunday Night - Nothing.
Monday Night, My Kids Were At Their Father'S House And I Went To Bed Early. Again, I Woke Up To A Bat Flying In My Bedroom At About 2Am. This Time, I Ran Out Of My Room (Still Disoriented) And I Swear The Bat Was &Quot;Chasing Me&Quot; (I Know This Isn'T Possible). I Ran Back Into My Bedroom And Shut The Bat Out Of My Room And Again Called My Brother. He Came Over By 3Am And After Searching My House, There Was No Sign Of A Bat. He Made Fun Of Me Saying It Was A Dream...I Was Even Thinking Maybe It Was?...Until Wednesday Night...
Tuesday Night - Nothing
Wednesday Night I Was Sitting On My Couch With My Boyfriend And At About 950Pm, In Came The Bat From Another Room! We Ran Out Of The House And Stayed At His House That Night (My Kids Were With Their Dad For The Night Again).
Thursday Night - Nothing.
Friday Night - Kids Were Asleep And I Took A Shower. I Walked Out Of The Bathroom And From The Kitchen, I Saw The Bat Again Flying Around My Living Room. I Ran Back Into The Bathroom, Called My Mom Crying Saying How I Can'T Live Like This Anymore, Etc. Etc.
After Monday Night, My Mom And I Had Gone Thru 10 Tubes Of Caulk And Expandable Foam, Etc. &Quot;Bat Proofing&Quot; The House...My Mom And Brother Swear There Is No Way The Bat Is In My Chimney, But Yesterday I Closed Off The Fireplace As Well.
A Little Bit About My House -
102 Years Old, Lots Of Trees, Has An Attic And Cellar. Lots Of Awesome Places For A Bat, Right???
There Is No Way The Bat Is Getting Into My House From The Attic...
I Contacted Several Places Who Humanely Will Take Care Of Bat Removal And Omg They Are Expensive...I Don'T Have A Lot Of Money To Spend, But Then Again I Also Can'T Live In Fear And The Kids Will Start Getting Scared Too Soon...
My Main Questions -
Is This Probably The Same Bat??
Is It Probably Coming Down The Chimney Since That Was Really The Only Place Up Until Yesterday That Was A Possibility? I Saw Bat Poop In The Fireplace. But, I Also Saw It On Top Of A Window Ac In The Upstairs, Which Is Under An Eave On The House. The Window Ac'S Are Installed Properly With No Gaps Whatsoever, Etc. Can A Bat Get Thru The Actual Ac Unit??? Like Thru The Motor, Etc??
Is There Anyway To Take Care Of This Myself? If I Absolutely Have No Other Option But To Call A Professional, I Will But If There Are Things I Can Try Myself, Then I Want To Do That First.
Thanks In Advance For Any Help With This - Ugh!

In my opinion, if you are feared much you can contact pest management services. I thought its a same bat torturing you

Best Pest Control Professional? [Terminix Reviews?]?
I Have A Pest Problem, I Thought Of Going With &Quot;Terminix&Quot;.
Would You Recommend Them? Do You Have Someone Better.
Also, I Live Around The Connecticut Area.
I Need This Problem Fixed As Fast As Possible.
&& The Best Is What I Need For My Situation.

Sadly, there is no one answer to this one..exterminators may carry a Terminix sign, but all are only as good as their operator/owners are! I suggest you get recommendations from friends locally, check out monthly contract prices and decide. AT the same time, if you own, get a price on termite control for your house ... have the same company do it all and keep a yearly contract. Good luck
